A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 377

In front of the two subordinates, Huaiyu did not rush to deal with it.

After all, there is no right to speak without investigation.

It is not a trivial matter to deceive the public with gossip. In ancient times, what could be called a gossip was not a general gossip.

They often contain deliberate political or religious incitement, each of which may cause social panic or even turmoil.

Throughout the dynasties, the rulers have strictly guarded against this and hated it deeply.

For example, in the Sui Dynasty, the phrase "getting the world" was very famous for peaches and plums, followed by another sentence, "The queen circles Yangzhou, Wanzhuan in the garden, don't speak loudly, who promises?"
At that time, it was known all over the world. Later, Yang Guang asked the famous magician Anga Tuo to interpret it. He interpreted that Li should be the emperor, and persuaded Yang Guang to kill Li's ministers.

Later, another nursery rhyme came out.

Peach and plum, the flood surrounds Yangshan.Peaches and plums, Mo Langyu, and yellow swans fly around the mountains, turning around in the garden.

In ancient times, there was a saying called Yingtu prophecy. Whenever dynasties changed, nursery rhyme prophecies spread among the people, often foretelling the direction of the dynasty, and even hinting at the name of the next ruler.

These nursery rhymes are actually spread intentionally by people.

It's like the most famous sentence at the end of the Han Dynasty, the sky is dead, the yellow sky will stand, and the year is Jiazi, and the world will be happy.

Another example is Hu Ye, who died of Qin in the Qin Dynasty.

Of course, the one who is closer is Taibai who sees Qin Fen, and the king of Qin should rule the world.

These prophecies are quite powerful.

At the beginning, Yang Guang was arrogant and didn't believe in the so-called nursery rhymes of peaches and plums, but later two songs came out one after another, and the more they spread, the more they spread, and everyone in the world said that Li was going to replace Yang, and that the flood was flooding Yangshan.

Yang Guang was made suspicious, and then there was the Li Hun incident. At that time, the Li Mu family, the grand master of the eight-pillar country with the most powerful Li surname in the court, was uprooted.

At that time, Li Yuan was far less powerful than the Li Hun family.

But Yang Guang has always been suspicious of his cousin Li Yuan since then. Once Li Yuan was sick and could not go to court, Yang Guang asked his concubine Wang Shi, who was also Li Yuan's younger sister's daughter, and bluntly said why Li Yuan died of illness.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was also a golden knife Liu. Liu’s auspicious prophecies were very popular in Kanto. Liu’s auspicious and Li’s Dangxing were popular in Kanto and Guanzhong respectively at that time.

Later, the tyrants in Wagangzhai also accepted the prophecy of Li Shi Dangxing, welcomed Li Mi up the mountain, and accepted his leadership.

In Hebei and Shandong, the heroes of Douzikeng and Gaojibo believe in Liu's Lord Ji, Sun Anzu, Gao Shida, Zhang Jincheng and other leaders of the rebel army all wanted to support Liu as their leader at the beginning. .

After all the chaos and wars, Dou Jiande came from behind, but when he established the name of the country, he chose Daxia, which is said to have something to do with Liu. He Lianbo once established Daxia. He was originally the successor of Liu Yuan, the Hun, so Xia Guo was also Liu's dynasty.

In Hebei and Shandong at that time, since the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Hu Feng was serious, and the Hu-Han mixed blood was also relatively strong, and there were even many Hu people who migrated inland.

After Dou Jiande's defeat, Liu Heita rose again, and the rest of Dou Jiande's troops had much higher qualifications and prestige than Liu Heita, but they all supported Liu Heita and also liked his surname Liu. success.

After the incident, Liu Heita only changed his Duke of Handong to King of Handong, and the country name was still Daxia.

Another example is Xu Yuanlang from Shandong. He was also attached to Gaojibo in his early years, and later attached to Li Mi and Dou Jiande.

Liu Shiche, Liu Wuzhou, etc. are also famous heroes with the Liu surname in the late Sui Dynasty.

But in the end, Liu's lord, Ji, still didn't do Li's Dangxing, but it was not Li Mi, the leader of the Central Plains, but Tang Guogong Li Yuan.

Before the change of Xuanwumen, Taishi ordered Fu Yimi to play Li Yuan, Taibai saw Qin Fen, Qin Wang should have the world, Li Yuan's face changed greatly, and finally made a decision to completely resolve the struggle between the crown prince and Qin Wang, but it was a pity that Li Shimin still A desperate move to seize the opportunity.

Wu Huaiyu didn't dare to be careless.

My own Yongzhou don't drive just took office, so he can't overturn. He is a doctor of six doors, so he is very clear about Li Shimin's fear of this kind of prophecy.

At the beginning, Li Shimin almost lost his life when he said that the king of Qin should rule the world. Although he didn't blame Taoist Fu Yi afterwards when he summoned Taoist priest Fu Yi, he also bluntly said that one sentence at that time almost killed him.

Fu Yi is a relatively cautious person. Although he is familiar with astronomy and astrology, he will never spread the information deduced from what he sees lightly.

The Yongzhou yamen got off work very early. They watched things at sunrise and left at noon.

I come to work in the morning and leave work not long after lunch. Some officials are assigned to work on the lunch and evening shifts every day, and the rest only come to work half a day a day.

It is indeed very comfortable.

Of course, the half-day shift is the welfare of officials. The Yongzhou Yamen is actually a local government office, which is not comparable to the central government office. Except for major officials like Huaiyu who work half-day shifts, the rest of the officials actually have to work two shifts.

As soon as the drums sounded in the morning, it was time for the morning shift to sit down. If you were late, you would be punished by registration.

From the morning to the meeting, that is, the free lunch, it is the morning shift.

The evening shift is from noon to dusk.

There is a long lunch break between lunch and evening shifts, and at dusk, the class is closed and closed.

And there is a group of people in the yamen who actually work harder, returning from morning to night.

They are members of the shogunate, such as Wu Huaiyu, as a senior official who founded the government, he has two private teams, one is the life assistant, the state official staff, and the other is the work secretary, the government official assistant staff.

These officials belonged to Huaiyu's private shogunate staff, but they were not entirely the official's private masters. They also enjoyed the imperial establishment and quality.

Most of Wu Huaiyu's work can be handed over to these fufus to assist in handling. He only needs to make up his own mind for approval, which can save a lot of energy and not worry about details.

Especially Wu Huaiyu now has several jobs, and if she really wants to do everything herself, she will be too busy even if she vomits blood.

However, although the shogunate staff worked long hours, Wu Huaiyu gave them better benefits. Generally, officials have one rest every ten days, and nine days off every ten days. Huaiyu’s shogunate has five days off every four days, and one day off every ten days. .

You can ask for leave directly if you have something to do, which is not as strict as an official.

In the court system, internal and external officials are absent from work without reason. If they are absent from work, they will be punished with 25 small boards every day. Every three days, they will be punished with one hundred boards. After 35 days, they will be sentenced to one year in prison.

The situation of not going to work for a long time was not acceptable in the Tang Dynasty. Not only would they be beaten, but they would also be sentenced to reform through labor.

And if it is an important military town or a frontier official in a border area, the crime will even be aggravated.

The time attendance law in the Tang Dynasty was also quite strict. Officials inside and outside the country had to roll their names to check the number of people who had actually arrived. Sometimes it was more than once a day. If it arrives, then calculate the number of days and accumulate the punishment.

In contrast, Huaiyu's shogunate staff will not be so strict. If they are always absent from work, they will be fired directly.Anyway, it was Wu Huaiyu himself who hired and reported it, and it was not appointed by the imperial court.

Of course, there will be no shogunate staff who will hang around under Wu Huaiyu's hands. After all, it is not easy to enter the shogunate as a popular minister like Wu Huaiyu. I want to accumulate some qualifications, especially I want to use Wu Huaiyu's relationship to pave the way for myself in the future.

After a few years in the curtain, when Wu Huaiyu recommends you, you can officially enter the official career. If you value it, you may even rise to the top. Who will hang around here with Wu Huaiyu? If you are driven away, then no one will want to go to other places .

Out of Guangdefang Yongzhou Yamen, Huaiyu went directly to the south of the city.

The six gates have already enclosed the land in the ghost city in the south of the city and started construction.

After walking around Huaiyu's construction site, Doulu's house was indeed very efficient. A large amount of money and food had been put in place, and even many craftsmen came to help.

It's going pretty fast.

Huaiyu inspected around and went to An Yuanshou.

"I heard that recently there was a Yuan family in Chang'an, who was bewitched by rumors and was reported by many people. I don't know if Brother An knows about this Yuan family. What kind of rumors did she say?"

Yang Zhuan has no evidence, but An Yuanshou must know more inside information.

"Are you eyeing this Yuan family too?" An Yuanshou said with a smile, "We are also eyeing her."

Yuan's is similar to the previous Li Wujie, and her experience is also very complicated, but she still has quite a few followers in Chang'an. She is spreading a prophecy recently.

"What prophecy?"

"Heroine Chang."

Just three words,

But Wu Huaiyu was secretly startled when he heard that, these three words were very powerful to him.

"Did these three characters come from Yuan Shi?"

"No."

An Yuanshou didn't hide it from Wu Huaiyu, after all, Wu Huaiyu is now a doctor of the Six Schools and his immediate superior.

"After we heard the rumors, we sent a lot of people to watch Yuan Shi, and we were not in a hurry to arrest people. After these days of surveillance, we finally found the source of the rumors.

The three characters of heroine Chang come from Li Chunfeng, a doctor of the Taishi Bureau.

The Yuan family often went to the homes of powerful officials. She heard this sentence from the maidservant of Li Chunfeng's family by chance, so she spread it around. "

"Coincidentally, Taibai has appeared repeatedly in the daytime recently, and many people are worried about this vision, so Yuan spread the prophecy that Taibai appeared in the daytime, the heroine Chang,"

"Why did she do that?"

"Of course it's to show that I'm capable, and then I can bluff and deceive." An Yuanshou was very disdainful of that Yuan family, and now that he found out that Li Chun was in the limelight, he put all his energy on him.

"Does Erlang know about Li Chunfeng?"

"heard about it."

Li Chunfeng is also a Taoist priest, and he is also very young. He is only 25 years old this year. His father was a small official in the county government in the Sui Dynasty. Less books.

Under the influence of his father, Li Chunfeng read the emperor's books since he was a child. He is known as a child prodigy, especially in astronomy, geography, Taoism, Yin and Yang.

When he was 17 years old, he returned home, and was recommended by Liu Wenjing to join the army as a secretary in the Palace of the Prince of Qin.

This year, he put forward [-] opinions on Wuyin Yuanli written by Yuanwai Sanqi Shilang and Taoist Fu Renjun, which showed his wisdom in the calendar. Li Shimin adopted his opinions and transferred him to the Taishi Bureau as a doctor of calendar to assist in the revision of the calendar.

"Li Chunfeng and Erlang's experiences are quite similar. You both went up to the mountain to practice Taoism at the age of nine, and then he went down the mountain at the age of 17, and you went down the mountain..."

Wu Huaiyu smiled, she really had a similar experience.

Li Chunfeng is now known as the person who is most proficient in astronomy and astrology in the Taishi Bureau, second only to Taishi Ling Fu Yi. The Taishi Bureau is the official research of astronomy, astrology and divination. Other people are not allowed to study. The Taishi Bureau studies Most of these are Taoist priests.

For example, Fu Yi and Fu Renjun are also Taoists.

It is Li Chunfeng's job to study astronomy and astrology, deduce and predict, but no matter what the results are, Li Chunfeng should not reveal the secrets, and can only report to the emperor.

Now that the Yuan family actually stole the secret from his maidservant, Li Chunfeng is in for a big deal.

Wu Huaiyu felt even more uneasy.

How on earth did Li Chunfeng deduce the three characters of heroine Chang, just based on Taibai's appearance?Then why the last time Taibai found out that the King of Qin should rule the world?
He really wanted to know, did Li Chunfeng know more, for example, did he deduce that after Tang Sanshi, the heroine Wu Wang ruled the world?

Wu Huaiyu felt that it was necessary to meet Li Chunfeng.

"Brother An, how about going to visit Dr. Li together?"

"Do it now?"

"Visit and find out face to face first," Wu Huaiyu said, "Send someone to bring Yuan Shi back to the door first, so we can't let her gossip again."
